10 Video Game Bosses Defeated By A Cutscene

10. Super Joe Gibson - Bionic Commando

Of the many Capcom franchises that have risen and fallen through the years, few have been quite as forgettable as Bionic Commando. Bringing the franchise back was a big undertaking, revitalising the original cult classic while crafting a full sequel for the seventh generation.

Bionic Commando's 3D debut was met with very mediocre reviews; much like Sonic The Hedgehog it was a franchise that failed to make the jump into modern gaming. Developer GRIN appeared to forget many of the lessons they had learned with their 2D remake. The final boss is no different as Nathan Spencer takes the fight to his former comrade, Super Joe Gibson.

After swinging around and dismantling several mechanical archangels, Nathan Spencer's revenge on the traitorous Joe is handled in cutscene form.

At first the villain has Nathan crushed in a iron grip, but to come on top the protagonist violently headbutts his way into Joe's cockpit, finishing the job by ripping out the power core.

While it may look visually impressive at first glance, the way Bionic Commando's climax pans out is just as disappointing as the rest of the game. It's as if they couldn't find a way to make the bionic arm work for a final boss.
